The Cao army and the Qiang people fought several fierce battles in Liangzhou, and basically ended in a complete victory for the Cao army.

After several battles, the Qiang people accumulated more than 10,000 corpses, and their strength was greatly damaged.

You must know that the Qiang people are not monolithic, but divided into many tribes, and now the power of each tribe has been reduced. Some tribes have lost a lot of strength, while others have been relatively well preserved.

Originally, the Qiang tribes were not at peace with each other, and although there were no large-scale fights, they were indispensable to each other. Now that the casualties between the tribes are light and severe, the balance is inevitably upset.

As a result, disagreements inevitably arose, and the tribes, which had suffered heavy losses in strength, had no intention of fighting again, hoping to negotiate peace with Cao Jun. The tribes whose strength was not so badly damaged accused those tribes who wanted peace of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and humiliated the glory of the Qiang people.

Cao Jun made good use of the differences among the Qiang tribes, united those tribes who wanted to negotiate peace with the Han Dynasty, and launched a final general attack on those who wanted to make peace with the Han Dynasty, and finally ended the battle of Liangzhou with a hearty victory.

And the one who proposed the strategy of uniting one part of the Qiang people against another part of the Qiang people was the one who joined the army of Cao Jun's trip, Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu.

In order for his strategy to be successfully implemented, Yang Xiu even did not hesitate to go to some tribes that were still hesitant to fight or surrender to carry out the task of persuasion.

Yang Xiu finally succeeded, and he contributed to Cao Jun's victory in Liangzhou. And after this battle, Yang Xiu's talent was also 'exposed' in front of the eyes of Cao Junzhong's civil and military forces, and he became a new star among the strategists in Cao Ying.

If Yang Xiu has greatly 'revealed' his eyes as a strategist, then the most eye-catching among the generals is undoubtedly Cao Zhang.

These days, countless Qiang people have died at the hands of Cao Zhang. At this time, Cao Zhang's age is not very old, and his martial arts are not proficient, not to mention that he is far behind Pang De, but he must be slightly inferior to Cao Chun and Ma Dai. However, Cao Zhang's battle was brave, and he was even more ruthless in killing people, and he was unstoppable on the battlefield, and the Qiang people's reverence for him after this battle was still above Pang De and other generals.

If Yang Xiu is a rising star among Cao Ying's ministers, then there is no doubt that Cao Zhang is a new star among Cao Ying's generals.

After the matter in Liangzhou was settled, Cao Jun began to turn back to Xuchang.

However, when arriving in Chang'an, Cao Zhang suddenly had a whim. He proposed to Cao Chun, hoping that Cao Chun would agree to him to bring 5,000 soldiers and horses to the south to reinforce and attack Shu.

Cao Zhang likes to fight too much, his desire since he was a child is to become a famous general like Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, for which he practiced martial arts and studied the art of war since he was a child, and grew rapidly, and was deeply loved by Cao Cao.

However, to Cao Zhang's distress, he has never been given the opportunity to set foot on the battlefield. But you must know that Cao Zhang is only seventeen years old this year, and it is normal for Cao 'Cao' not to let him go on the army before, after all, teenage generals are extremely rare in history, and even Huo Quzhi was eighteen years old when he first went out on the expedition, which is one year older than the current Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang couldn't go to the battlefield, and he had been holding his breath in his heart, and this time he went to Liangzhou as Cao Chun's deputy general, which made his long-suppressed war spirit burst out all of a sudden.

This long-suppressed war spirit is too great, although the war in Liangzhou has been calmed down at this time, Cao Zhang is not satisfied, he still wants to fight more enemies.

It's not that he wants to be hungry for military exploits or other fame and fortune, Cao Zhang just wants to purely enjoy the excitement that war brings to him, and he just wants to experience the feeling of fighting.

If you return to Xuchang like this, who knows when the next expedition will be, waiting has always been the most boring thing.

Suddenly, Cao Zhang thought of the battle situation in Yizhou.

Although he was on the battlefield in Liangzhou, Cao Zhang had also heard a little about the situation in Yizhou, although the specific situation was not clear, but in short, he was in a quagmire.

Instead of returning to Xuchang and waiting for nothing to do, it is better to turn around and go to Yizhou to participate in the battle.

"Nope." After hearing Cao Zhang's request, Cao Chun refused on the spot.

Without Cao's 'Cao's order, he let 5,000 soldiers change their route without authorization, which may lead to the consequences that Cao Chun can't afford.

Cao Chun is the younger brother of Cao's 'Cao' clan, and he is also the younger brother of Cao Ren, the former Cao Ying's heavy general, although he has not performed much before, it does not mean that his ability is inferior. On the contrary, he has quite a good talent in the field of unifying the army, firstly, there are too many famous generals in Cao Ying, and secondly, Cao Chun himself is very low-key, so his talent has not been demonstrated.

Cao Chun is the younger brother of Cao Ren and the younger brother of Cao's 'Cao' clan, so he is naturally Cao Zhang's elder, and with his identity as the main general of the first army, Cao Zhang does not dare to be too presumptuous in front of him. It's just that Cao Zhangqiu was eager to fight, and after being rejected by Cao Chun, he was also a little anxious.

"General, Yizhou has not been able to attack for a long time, and the battle situation is not good. I also hope that the general can agree to Zhangzhi's request and order Zhangzhi to send troops to help. Cao Zhang clenched his fists and pleaded with Cao Chun.

"Since the battle situation is not good, what good is it for you to bring 5,000 soldiers and horses over?" Cao Chun responded indifferently, but he refused to agree to Cao Zhang's request.
